Texas Hill Country Lavendar Festival - 10/3

Wineries along the 290 Wine Trail share the road with lavender farms stretched from Fredericksburg to Johnson City for the 2nd Annual Texas Hill Country Lavender Festival. This year, six Johnson City – Fredericksburg working lavender farms along Highway 290 will open to the public during one of the most beautiful times of the year. Help the farms celebrate the final harvest of the season as displays of native grasses and lavender in bloom provide a delightful vista. Bring your camera and be ready to cut a fresh bunch of lavender to take home! The weather is usually great (and no one will complain even if it rains!). You will receive a warm welcome at each farm. Farm owners will share lavender farming experiences and plans and will offer products made at their farms. Special events, music, workshops, demonstrations, crafts, food, plants for fall planting, and a variety of lavender and Hill Country products await you. Check individual farm websites for special activities and updates. There is no entrance fee to the farms.
